Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The climax of South America is just around the corner. Next up is a betting tip on the Mad Kings v Balrogs match, which is the penultimate game of the third round.
The road to DPC 2023: SA Division 1 Tour 3 is not over for the two sides. Both teams are still not guaranteed to retain their place in League One, and will therefore give their best on the Battle of the Ancients field.
There's a good chance that after this match, we'll be looking at a tiebreaker for the chance to stay in the first division next year. To do that, we need an outsider's win here.
Let's see how it goes in reality, which team turns out to be stronger and earns an important win in this clash. An important win, for both sides.
Let's start the parsing of the match.
Mad Kings form
We will start the review of the match by analysing the Mad Kings form. It is they who will play in this match as favourites.
The bookmakers will put their odds at 1.6 to win against the Mad Kings. You can agree with that, because the Mad Kings look stronger.
For a team that made it to League One from Division Two, they don't look bad. Their track record is pretty impressive.
Mad Kings' success this season has been influenced by the team's vast playing experience. In addition to the DPC, the team has played in a dozen side events.
At the EPL, for example, Mad Kings celebrated their first, but not their last win of the season. They earned a much more important title a month later during DPC SA 2023: Tour 2: Division II.
Mad Kings looked brilliant in the lower division last tour. You can see how experience at tournaments with a similar level of competitors helped them outgrow Division II: Mad Kings did not lose a single series in League Two, thereby securing a place in Division I for the third round.
- Mad Kings: DaaD, PiPi, ArzenT, Genek, RedMonster .
Mad Kings are in the middle of the table until Long Cogneaga, having temporarily secured a break from the relegation zone. The Kings have a 2-4 series statistic and are 4-9 on the mapm.
At the same time, they managed to beat Beastcoast, which is quite a significant indicator for a team of this level. They're the only ones to brag about it, really (before Long Cognega Evil Geniuses).
Most popular MAD Kings heroes
Ember Spirit (12 matches, 66% win percentage) remains the most chosen hero for MAD Kings. Next is Monkey King (7 games, 28% win rate).
Another picks are Doom (6 matches, 66% wins), Crystal Maiden (6 matches, 50% wins), Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 60% wins).
Also peaking are Alchemist (5 matches, 40% wins), Bloodseeker (4 matches, 75% wins).
Mad Kings can rely on their teamwork against their counterparts. They won against Beastcoast once.
Form Balrogs
We continue the breakdown of the match with an analysis of the Balrogs' playing form. In this match, the team will play as the underdog.
The odds of a win for Balrogs are estimated at around 2.2. The number seems to hint at a possible struggle in the match, as the gap between the teams is minimal.
This makes sense, because the teams have an almost identical storyline. The only difference is the actual successes on the DPC 2023: SA Division Tour 3 stage and the number of local events played (although both have plenty of them).
The Balrogs are trying to play everywhere at once (12 tournaments in a year). However, the main effort is on DPC play.
Balrogs have played in the DPC 2023 SA Tour 1: Division II. They failed to qualify for the top division, finishing 3rd with a score of 4-3.
However, Balrogs' ascent was made possible during the previous DPC 2023 Division II tour. A year later, in fact, Balrogs returned to League One, finishing second in Division Two.
- Balrogs: DCMC, Nengo, Arkano, Demon, Shaka.
Up to Long Sogpeg the Balrogs are in the penultimate place in the standings. The squad has a 1-5 score and very little chance of securing their place in the top division.
Should they win, Balrogs will qualify for tiebreaker, where they will meet Mad Kings again. All in all, there's a lot of work ahead, but without a win here it won't matter.
The most popular Balrogs characters
The most chosen Balrogs character is Keeper of the Light. The character has appeared 7 times and has a 28% win rate.
Ember Spirit has been chosen 5 times and has won 3 games. Also tried to play Crystal Maiden (5 matches, 0% wins), Undying (4 matches, 75% wins), Underlord, Rubick, Disruptor (4 matches each, 0% wins).
From the looks of it, Balrogs is having monumental problems. The team can't find their game throughout the season, so don't get your hopes up too high this season.
History of head-to-head encounters
During the season, the teams have played each other 4 times. All 4 games have ended with a victory for the Mad Kings.
Result of the match
Given that the Mad Kings are playing much brighter than their future counterparts this season, I'd say they should win. This is also supported by the history of their head-to-head encounters, which are all in the Kings' favour.
Bottom line: Mad Kings win.
